Notes to Table 6.2 1 A project note about an experimental paper presenting threshold values.
2 Abstract with insufficient information.
3 Adaptation effects were avoided with a 45-min interval between concentrations.
4 Although a random presentation was used in this study, adaptation effects were avoided by presenting stimuli with 30 minute intervals between concentrations.
5 Approximate thresholds determined and no threshold methodology is given.
6 Article only provided the range of all measurements and the values detected 90% of the time.
7 Article investigated an additive effect of odorants.
8 Article focused upon validating olfactometer(s).
9 Article investigated whether subjects detected CO2 in the nose or the mouth first.
10 Article investigates the odor detection, descrimination and chemesthetic properties.
11 Article investigating nasal irritation sensitivity variation in humans.
12 Article investigating odor threshold differences between males, females, osmics and anosmics.
13 Article contains good descriptions for the compounds found in orange peel vapor.
14 Article investigating the compounds and their organoleptic intensity scales.
15 Article mentions new olfactometer. Flow rate difficult to determine.
16 Article on good odor measurement methods/studies and the vapor delivery device 8 (VDD8).
17 Article refers to a minimal perceptible concentration based on an intensity scale.
18 Article refers to a previously published articles for the details of the odor testing. Results are for brief, 2 minute duration, exposures only.
19 Ascending/descending patterns with consideration of other factors of the experimental design.
20 Concentration series are presented with insufficient time for de-adaptation of the olfactory receptors.
21 Concentration series not given, however the 1-hr waiting period used would eliminate adapta-tion effects.
22 Concentrations are presented in ascending, descending, and random order.
23 Detection threshold was a 50% response.
24 Different subjects were tested at different concentrations to eliminate adaptation effects.
25 Evaluation of the repeatability of odor threshold data; determining the precision of odor thresh-old identification methods. air-dilution olfactometer had good precision (4.2%).
26 Experimental purpose was to avoid inhibition.
27 Eye irritation and pugency was measured.
28 German article. A tenfold concentration step size was used.
29 Flow rate difficult to determine.
30 Panel was 50% anosmic.
31 Investigation of how the detection threshold might change when compounds are presented in mixtures.
32 Investigation of olfactory properties of chemicals under hyperbaric atmospheres.
33 Investigation of the properties affecting odor thresholds in hydroalcoholic solutions (like wine).
34 Investigation to identify and quantify the odorants from apple.
35 Investigation to identify the odorants and thresholds from linden tree honey from Romania.
36 The MP is the minimum perceptible concentration of the most sensitive subject.
37 Number of subjects was insufficient to represent the range of olfactory sensitivity.

Odor Thresholds for Chemicals with Established Health Standards, 2nd Edition
38 Only one concentration per day was tested to avoid adaptation effects.
39 Only the detection threshold for the Controls (without Alzheimers disease) were quoted.
40 Panelists completed four scaling tasks in 30 min with 10-sec waiting period between sniffs.
41 Participant count is the lowest number of subjects per compound.
42 Random presentation order to determine recognition threshold.
43 Reported values are for 100 percent recognition.
44 Results displayed on small graph in log ppb units; conversion errors may have resulted during conversion.
45 Russian article minimal perceptible value was determined from English summary.
46 Russian article was categorized based on translation of key words and review of tables present-ing minimum perceptible values.
47 Study focus was testing olfactory fatigue between exposed and non-exposed workers.

56 The study presents air values based on transformed data from water values and a descending series without adequate de-adaptation time.
57 Variable presentation was used with intervals between sniffs to reduce adaptation effects.
58 Threshold was calculated from the intensity slope at the intercept.
59 Thresholds were conducted as training for a field program. Threshold measurement recorded to document panel calibration.
60 Up-down technique used is less likely to cause olfactory fatigue than a descending or random pattern.
61 U.S. EPA Report on odor detection of methyl tert-butyl ether in water based upon on previously published data.
62 Purpose of the experiment was to prove hypothesis on the effects of humidity and temperature on odor thresholds.
63 Investigation of the relationship between odor detection thresholds and age.
64 Study of glutaraldehyde odor detection threshold, eye and throat sensation threshold, and response over time.
65 Only dilution to threshold values presented.
66 Study evaluated subjects ability to recognize the odorant, not to determine a threshold.
67 Study to evaluate the effect of the molecule length (carbon atoms) on the odor detection threshold.
68 Study comparing age-related loss of detection threshold, intensity, pleasantness and repeated exposure effects.
69 Using the triangle odor bag method, 12 years of data on 223 compounds was summaried and trends were examined.
70 Study of individual’s odor detection and hedonic tone from animal production facility odorants.
71 An evaluation of the methodology and data analysis to identify the appropriate study size and trials.

Table 6.3 – Reported Odor Thresholds from All Sources
All published odor threshold values for the 295 chemicals with occupational exposure values.
The table provides the following information:
Chemical Name
Source (Last name of first author) and publication date
Type of odor threshold values reported as either detection (d) or recognition (r)
All threshold values from the Gemert compendium in both mg/m3 and ppm.
Note: Conversion of units from mg/m3 to ppm was based on the molecular weight of the compound
and the known volume of a perfect gas or vapor at standard temperature and pressure (STP).
